the beginning of February, the evening news of a television channel Nepal is aired in the light of a kerosene lantern
to protest against the frequent "blackout" imposed by the government. From this month, the power outages in the former Himalayan kingdom have indeed reached a record 12 hours a day.
To draw attention to the serious problem, the private channel Kantipur Television (ktv), a leading national TV, has decided that the original form of the complaint. In the newsletter of the 19, renamed Laaltin Bulletin (in Nepali 'newsletter Lantern'), the presenter, in the gloom, reads the news in the dim light of a crude oil lamp placed on the table. "It is outrageous that the Nepalese, even today in the twenty-first century, are forced to live in darkness due to the inability of our administrators' it said in a press release from the television network that a few days ago he announced his bizarre initiative.
"We want the government undertakes to enhance the supply of electricity as soon as possible," said Chief Tirtha Koirala, adding that "the initiative has so far received the applause of the spectators, but no reaction from the authorities." Last month, the Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) decided to increase by another hour (a total of 12 hours) duration of power cuts daily, compounding the hardships for the people forced to reflect the use of generators diesel for activities daily. Because of the deterioration of the electricity grid and the ten-year civil war with the Maoists, Nepal is able to meet only half of its energy needs despite the great potential in the field of hydropower.
